What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Northfleet?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Northfleet or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Northfleet is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a definite creep of a "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. You must always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players in the home moving process.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Northfleet. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Northfleet and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Northfleet. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Northfleet

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
